This is now my favorite vest i have about six from your collection. great quality & price Thanks

Love it! Quality of the fabric and styling are excellent! Great crossover piece with a classy touch for my favorite looks -- can go from formal to casual depending what it's combined with. Something I can wear to work, church, and downtown. The rounded bottom hem works nicely for displaying a fancy belt buckle. The Large size is slightly big for my 44" chest, but the adjustable buckle in the back makes it work, sizing is comfortable without buttons straining. Love the four front pockets, plenty of options for storage. The color is better described as brown/black, not brown/navy. The darker stripe is a soft black, not a blue tone. Love the brown/black stripe as it is, coordinates with more of my shirts/pants/jackets than the brown/navy would. The vertical stripes give a subtle slimming look.

I intend to wear the vest in several upcoming event as a living historian

I already had the pants but now I needed the vest. They were out of stock on the mediums so I had to get a large & take it in. I'll def check availability. Great quality!

Bought this and the matching Ferndale Striped spats to complete my patent medicine salesman 'living history' persona and am 1000% pleased with the fit and appearance. Both items look great in the website photos but are even more impressive in person. Really liked the higher neckline on this vest and the 4 pockets in front are perfect for everything from my pocket watch to a small bottle of 'cure all'. Thanks Historical Emporium for offering such great merchandise!

I ordered the whole suit; Frock coat, pants, vest and spats. Great quality. I'm 6'2" 215lbs and the XLs are a little on the large size, but I'll be getting them tailored. Not sure if the large would have done it, so not a big issue. LOOKS GREAT. Good weight to the fabric.

This is really one good looking vest! I have quite a few of your vests and am delighted with all of them. I'm a very big vest fan; don't consider myself fully dressed without one. This is the first striped vest I've bought and it certainly won't be the last. Congrats for a terrific product!

I love the vest. Just want to mention that the navy stripes look black.

The vest was very great quality!!! It was amazing I was very satisfied! I wore it my first day back to school and I think I made an impression I got many compliments and saw many signs of envy This isn't a costume it's a real suit It's a little boxy on me since I'm a girl but other than that it was absolutely fabulous

The vest was arrived very fast, the hubby loved it. The quality is great and fits like a dream.

Very snazzy.

Beautiful vest. Just what I was looking for. Fast shipping and great service. Will be back again and again, I'm sure.

I ordered this along with the matching trousers and we pleased to see how well it fit and how well-made it was. I would definitely recommend this ensemble to anyone looking for durable non-costume period clothing.

Only worn it twice so far- but the poll of those who have seen it suggests this is winner. great stuff. I'll be back for more style thanks for the great product

Seems great. Haven't tried to wash/clean it yet but the quality is nice. Trust the tape measure. I couldn't bring myself to order a size large as 100% of my wardrobe is XL. Ended up having to exchange it. I think I could have even fit a medium. Trust the tape measure procedure they give you. Also, go a size up on the pants as suggested. The Ferndale combo looks pretty sweet.

I purchased the vests for our band presentation at gigs. The vests look great and while we have yet to try them on, I suspect they'll be fantastic. Thank you for making the purchase easy.

The vest is beautiful and the fit is perfect. Thank you.

Perfect purchase. Wore to Ragtime themed event and was very period appropriate.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. So far, the different items I have purchased, the quality, service and shipping have been outstanding!!!

Nice quality, wonderful look, great shipping time. Ordered late Tue night arrived Thur morning, regular mail.

My husband needed a black and white vest for an event later this year during which we will be in historic costumes for a week at a time. This one is not just the best-looking option I could find, but fits well and is well made. He can remove his jacket with confidence; he'll still look well-dressed and period appropriate.

This ragtime black/white vest is a1 and look exactly the waty it spears in the video. I will certainly recommend it to every or anyone. When i had it on i received great components...

Bought this striped vest for a Night Circus themed party so everyone needed to wear black and white with a shock of red. This is the best vest I found over the entire internet to fit what I was looking for and the price is good. The product arrived very quickly and I was impressed with the quality for what I paid. The vest is thin, which is what I expected. I wont have to worry about overheating indoors. The fit was perfect when following the size guide.

Absolutely loved it. I bought it for a theatrical production in our theatre. I like it so much I think I'll be purchasing one for myself.

We love the vests and they arrived in a timely manner. They are of the highest quality and they're perfect for our barbershop quartet, The Apple Boys - Thanks!

I wear this for Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War meetings and functions. I thought the price was a bit high, but the vest is nice and fits good.

This vest is well-made of high-quality materials. It has an elegant look that I like. The fit is true to size and consistent with the other vests that I have bought from this company. I have no complaints about the vest and I recommend it. I look forward to wearing mine regularly.

Have been looking to acquire this style vest for quite a while. True to size, beautifully finished, comfortable, and well made. A nice addition to the other vests that I wear for either SASS matches or around town.

Probably the nicest vest that I've bought from HE (so far). Beautiful fabric and the buttons are metal (brass, I think, compared to another vest which has fabric-covered plastic buttons). Fits well, a bit on the generous side which is fine.

It was just what I had hope. I love it. Everybody thinks I am a throw-back to the civil war.

Great quality in material and craftsmanship!

Top notch vest! Looks great as indian wars era cowboy action gettup. Quality product very well made. Looks so good I'm wearing it on sundays also. I wear XL in canvas vests to fit shoulders then they fit my belly loose, but the cut on this vest is perfect.

So much more than I expected! I thought my other Frontier Classics vests from Historical Emporium were tops, but this one stands out. Large vests are to snug on my belly, extra larges is what I wear with the adjustment belt in back snugged up some, but the Buchanan vest is just right in extra large. Smooth fit and looks great as an Indian wars era cowboy action getup. This vest will also see action on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings.

This vest is definitely a surprise, and a pleasant one at that. There is just enough wool in the fabric to give it the proper feel. The fact that it is self backed makes it perfect for use without any type of jacket or coat. On top of that it is decidedly comfortable to wear! I purchased this with one very specific use in mind, which required the stand up collar, and Navy Blue was exactly what was needed for the Tartan it was to be worn with. But now that I have it, I'm finding that it works quite well in many other ways. It will be seeing a great deal of use year round. This is definitely worth the extra bit of time that a special order requires.

Oddly, I bought this to work on the parts of an outfit to be a Scottish Santa Claus. The vest is perfect! I've worn in twice with jeans and a solid color shirt. I like it very much, the quality is solid and I've gotten compliments from men and women. My wife even said, "You need more vests, you look really good in it!"

No occasion. Just love tweed and vests. Haven't worn it yet but look forward to the day I break it out!

My wife gifted me this vest for Christmas, I have to say I'm overjoyed with the material and style. This will be a great vest for date night or any other occasion I need to dress up more than just casual. The fit, the quality, the overall construction, just perfect.

My husband loves it. Every time he wears it he receives compliments.

Very well made with attention to detail.

First time customer and now - Historical Emporium Fan!!! Well made, quality product at a great price. Fast shipping and the fit? PERFECT!

The fall and winter months are rapidly coming upon us and there no better time than to breakout the Aberdeen Tweed Vest - Olive Herringbone for the coming colder months ahead. The olive green color is as lush and lively as a bountiful grassy field on a brisk fall day. And its rough but stunning texture harkens with character and gentlemanly appeal. The olive hue gives the vest a sleek air of serious sophistication. If you are looking for a vest that will give your outfit that polished and refined appearance then this vest is definitely for you. It can be worn to formal, informal or semi formal events and its mid weight and breathable construction allows it to be worn year round. Well done Emporium!

I purchased the Vaughan Green Waistcoat, since I needed a different color and style to accent my wardrobe for an upcoming event. The material is high quality, the color is true and represented well by the photos, and the fit was as described. I was surprised by the quality and how well made it was. Shipping was quick. I am very happy and will readily purchase similar items in the future.

This is an amazing looking vest. The collar will be better if you have a longer neck. I originally ordered a 3x, but had to exchange it for a 2x. Customer service was fantastic. The exchange was made way quicker than I anticipated due to the current Covid crisis. Always a pleasure to shop with HE.

I’m very happy with my vest. Fits well, made well.

I've wanted a green waistcoat for the holidays and St. Patrick's day and I finally purchased this one. I love it! The high collar gives it a little oriental look. It's a little longer than usual waistcoats, which I like. If I wear a belt, it's hidden nicely with this. The fabric is beautiful and it's fairly lightweight so I'll be wearing it in the spring as well.

Outstanding vest. Perfect fit. comfortable and elegant/

This vest is beautiful, and the fit is perfect. I couldn't be more pleased. I am sure I will buying more as the mood strikes.

I wanted a Victorian feel for Christmas photos this year, and my wife wanted me in green. As a clergyman, this worked perfectly with my clerical collar. These were probably our best Christmas photos yet!

The vest looks and fits pretty good. Great customer service

I will be portraying an upscale merchant from 1802 at a local festival in October and this should help complete the look. Thanks

Fits very well but the strap in the back can sometimes get caught in the metal fastener.

Boyfriend loves it

This is such a beautiful item.

Classy, comfortable, perfect for the holidays. Drew LOTS of positive comments. Great product!

This vest pairs nicely with the Fairbanks Striped Trousers I purchased on the same order. As a 6' 2" 240lb man with both a "pot belly" and a colostomy bag (cancer survivor) to hide, the straight edged bottom of this vest is EXACTLY what I needed. The more typical notched bottoms on most vests often exposes excess shirt material blousing out. Exactly what the vest is intended to conceal. The cut of the vest is also a bit sliming without acting like a male girdle like so many "fitted" vests. I am very pleased with the quality. One of the few items I've purchased online that doesn't seem like it needs the buttons to be re-attached with "good" thread.

Fits perfectly, elegant, everything as advertised. I do really like it. My only issue is that there were a couple others I liked more, and really anted to have instead, but they didn't come in a larger size. With that said, this one is great. Thanks

Love this Double Breasted Waistcoat! It feels good to the touch, and looks great in a Festive way. I have not yet tried this vest with other outfits, but I am certain it will be splendid!

This product arrived exactly as described. The sizing was perfect and the quality exceeded my expectation for the price paid. Would be a great work garment as well as the canvas style cotton is perfect for hard work situations.

This is my second, in another color. I hope to have one in every color available. It is a great style and perfectly rendered.

Not the one I originally wanted but I like it better than my first choice. It is very well made and am very pleased with it

A thirty themed wedding. Ordered from a different company, it was wrong size and took forever. Historical emporium saved me by ordering and fast shipping a correct vest to me so I was dressed appropriately! Thanks

Period theater production

I'm a tall guy and a big guy , and have always had problems finding vests that I am comfortable in and that even look like they fit. They almost always feel to short in length and there is always too much space between the bottom of the vest and the waist of my pants . I bought this vest in the 3XT , and even though they were a special order and took a few days longer to get , when it arrived it fit PERFECTLY .

just liked the color

We were very happy with this vest, it was historically accurate to the time period and looked good when it arrived

Very nice feeling fabric in a very good fit.

Very nice feeling fabric in a very good fit.

Quality is excellent, fit is excellent.

I bought this vest after being less than impressed with my 'old fashioned' vest from another retailer. I absolutely love this vest! It has a full cotton, tan back to it. The cut is great. Going for a bit of a settler look for my wedding on my side, and this one helped me hit the mark. Strong recommendation for the look and quality.

Beautiful vest great fit!!

The last night of a planned overseas vacation, we will be celebrating our anniversary at a fairly posh restaurant in London. They absolutely require men in long sleeves and would like a tie and jacket. Not wanting to lug a jacket all over England, I purchased this herringbone vest for him. With dress pants and a bold tie, the vest turns from Old West to English Country Gentleman. We are pleased with the construction and the color.

There are times when my Harris Tweed sport coat is too heavy. This fits the occasion perfectly. Very classy.

I had a Great Gatsby party to go to and I needed a vest to go with my suit. This was exactly what I needed AND, it is also what I wanted to add to my wardrobe. Love it and received many compliments

beautiful and fits great

I love this vest! It is very well made and the fabric is durable. The tie in the back makes it cench attractively at the waist.

Quality-made vest with attention to detail. I use this vest as part of my show outfit for Western Dressage.

This is a very well cut vest and very flattering on. The canvas material is high quality and it is constructed extremely well. The metal buttons are also of quality and are very attractive. They definitely add to the look of the vest. I can't wait to wear this! I'm a women's size 2 or 4 and I bought the small. Love it!!!

Just got the Ladies classic canvas vest in black - and it fits very well! Well made, sturdy, and a nice fitted shape with the back belt tied. I am a size 14-16, and the size 40 is a perfect fit for me. Will wear it with both my Dickens Faire costume and my Edwardian walking skirt!

Nice style, great fit, good quality. Would definite order again.

This vest is very well made, a lovely fabric, and a perfect fit. I'll be back for more!

Very nice quality and it fit beautifully!!! I got so many compliments on the whole outfit!!

Good quality. Fits well.

Nice vest. Good quality.
